the defense would really lay out its case at this stage, we're told, but the defense giving evidence that oscar pistorius talked with reeva steenkamp, his girlfriend, in bed shortly before that shooting took place. there have been many questions before, why didn't he call out to her before? how did he -- why didn't he check that she wasn't in the bathroom? he had said the room was pitch dark, but now we get an indication that he believed she was in bed because he had talked to her there shortly before. we have now just heard from the first witness, a near neighbor, who says that she was awoken by a woman screaming. her husband was woken as well, she says. and then the woman's screaming became more intense. she became really worried because she thought that something terrible was about to happen. then she says she heard four shots, and they went like this, bang, pause, bang, bang, bang. that's how she described it. so, one shot, a bit of a pause, then the following three shots. and this is a neighbor. this as the prosecution laying out their case. they have argued in the past that the

the defense just trying to break that down because what the defense is trying to do is to show that there was no argument between oscar pistorius and his girlfriend reeva steenkamp, and therefore, no justification for this premeditated murder that he would have gunned her down because he was angry with her. we've now just gone on to the seventh witness, another neighbor. we're going to hear his testimony. but it's just it's clear how hard fought all this information was. the prosecution came back again to talk to that third witness, just to sort of, if you will set the record straight for that. so it's key how important all this testimony is right now, john. >> it really is crucial. the defense has to discredit just about every one of these witnesses. nic robertson for us in pretoria covering this case. really appreciate it. >>> all right, what exactly did pope francis say about civil unions? the new pope causing a stir in a wide-ranging interview on ash wednesday, while insisting that marriage is between a man and a woman, the pope seemed to open the door to civil unions. now, a vatican
